yes, I think every app can make their releases whenever needed, but some
revisions on the whole GNOME Office release make it easier for users to
get all updates.

that's exactly the same plan we have in GNOME-DB, and I think I've heard
Jody saying the same for Gnumeric. So this is a perfect moment then for
really having coordinated releases. For GNOME-DB I was planning to make
releases for all timelines (2.4.x, betas, RC, etc). So I guess we can do
the same with GNOME Office and release at the same time as GNOME core.

Is that ok?
